[3rd Person Pov]
In Mathura the king Kamsa was walking restlessly around his room, he had recently heard a prophecy that the cause of his death will be because of his sister eight child. His first reaction when hearing the news was to imprison his sister and brother in law in the dungeon of the kingdom. He plan to kill all his nephew the moment they take birth not giving them a chance to grow up. Despite having his sister and brother in laws capture he was still feel restless. Just when he was about to take some rest, a guard barge in his room without any permission disrupting his rest time.
Kamsa " How dare you to barge in my room and disturb my rest time, do you know the consequences of your action? He said with a angry tone."
Guard " Sorry your majesty I did not ask you your permission before entering your room, but the situation did not allow me to waste any time." the guard said with an fearful expression.
Kamsa " What is the reason for you to barge in my room" he ask in a irritate tone"
Guard " Your majesty, Maha Rishi Durvasa had come to our palace and is currently standing on the palace entrance ".
After hearing the new Kamsa was like struck with lightning. For the second time Kamsa feel scared. Everyone knows the terror of Maha Rishi Durvasa. He was the son of Anasuya and Atri, the Vedic ascetic sage Durvasa is one of the avatars of Shiva. He name literally mean difficult to live with. He was given this name as he was literally born from the anger of shiva. He is known for being very easy to anger and curse everyone who has to face his wrath , even the god was not save from his wrath forcing them to do Samudra Mathan.
Without wasting anymore time Kamsa immediately rush in his entrance of his palace to welcome Rishi Durvasa.
Arriving he saw Rishi Durvasa waiting impatiently outside, behind him was his ten thousand disciple.
Kamsa " Welcome Maha Rishi Durvasa sorry for the long wait, I was not able to welcome you immediately." Kamsa said those word in a very polite tone.
Durvasa look at him and said "you are not as the arrogant as the rumors said. I was traveling this land with my pupils and we were hungry so we decided to visit your kingdom to eat."
Hearing this this Kansa immediately order his royal chef to prepare a meal fit of king for Rishi Durvasa and his deciple. He immediately invite Durvasa to enter his palace with his student and wash their legs.
After that he made Durvasa sit on his personal throne and also make arrangements for his students. Immediately after that the servents start to bring all kind of dish and sweet. When Rishi Durvasa start to eat his meal Kansa start to vent Durvasa personally.
After one hour Durvasa and his disciples finish their dish. So Durvasa decide to continue on his journey with his pupils. Looking at the back of Durvasa leaving Kansa start to breathe a sight of relief. When suddenly Durvasa stop on his track, turn back and start walking taword him.
Kansa start sweating bullets as he see Rishi Durvasa approaching him. He begin to think what he did that could have anger Durvasa and when nothing came in his mind he start to imagine what curse he will get from Durvasa.
When Rishi Durvasa arrive in front of him a smile appear on his face and said.
"Mathura king Kansa I am very happy of your service and devotion, so I will allow you to ask any boon you want.
In heaven all the god was sitting in a large room, they were all looking at this situation development attentively. When they first see Rishi Durvasa and his students going in the direction of Mathura they were all happy as they know Kansa arrogance nature, so they expect him to insult Durvasa and get Curse by him. But seeing the situation they all know that their plan has back fire on them.
Agnidev (Fire God) " Should we try to stop Maha Rishi Durvasa to give him a boon?"
Hearing his question everyone present became quite. They all know and had experience the terror of angering Rishi Durvasa in the past.
Suryadev (Sun God) " No we cannot do that, did you all forget what happen to us in the past when we accidentally insulted him , if this happens again the consequences will be devastating.
Indradev (Tunder God)" Suryadev is right we cannot interfere with Maha Rishi Durvasa." He is the most afraid of Durvasa as it was due to his fault that he was angry in the past and had curse all gods and demi gods.
Vishwakarma (Divine architect) " So what are you all proposing to let him become more strong and gave him a chance to become more arrogant that he already is."
Hearing Vishwakarma the god did not know how to reply as they also know he is right, who knows what he would ask as a boon from Maha Rishi Durvasa.
Vayudev (Wind God) " I agree with Vishwakarma but we cannot do anything, if by accident Rishi Durvasa curse us, destruction would be inevitable as asura and rakshasa will definitely use this opportunity to strike us."
Varundev (Water and Ocean God) " the best solution is to wait and see what Kansa ask as a boon and wait till lord vishnu take his eight avatar on earth."
Hearing Varundev suggestion all gods present agree with him and decide to wait and see how the situation will develop.
Back on earth Kansa was shock hearing Durvasa words, he know that this is a one time chance to get rid of the problem that is troubling him these past few days. He immediately start to think of a solution that would help him deal his problem.
When out of no where an idea appear in his mind, a grin spread on his face. He join his hand and kneel in front of Maha Rishi Durvasa and said.
Kansa " Hey sage I know that you know about the prophecy that had appear concerning my death, so as a boon I want all my sister child to be unable to harm or kill anything in their entire life".
As Kansa said those words you could heard thunder roaring outside, wind was blowing strongly, large water waves is appearing in the ocean and the heat emmited by the sun has become unbearable.
Durvasa also heard his request and understand what Kansa is trying to do, but he was a saga and a saga never go back on his word. So he just said " I bless you that none of your sister child will never be able to kill or harm anything."
After blessing the King of Mathura Maha Rishi Durvasa left. Kansa was currently on cloud nine as he no that the person that is suppose to kill him is now completely harmless. He start to laugh madly as he start to feel safe again, in heaven the god start to panic as they understand the implications of his boon.
